There are a fair amount of bad-taste gags, as you’d expect from Apatow: Rudd asking his wife for a haemorrhoid inspection, Mann jiggling Megan Fox’s boobs about. And the first half of the film is funny and pacy. It’s also refreshing to see a middle-aged couple as the protagonists of what’s essentially a romantic ‘dramedy’ with added domestic strife (including contending with two children, played by Apatow’s daughters).

Rudd is as affable a leading man as ever and Melissa McCarthy does a great job with her cameo turn. However, it’s a mixed bag. Debbie’s relentless neurotic moaning – her main gripe seems to be the world doesn’t revolve around her – wears thin, as does some of the humour. And the overlong finale mainly reveals that everyone has been speaking in the same irritatingly sarcastic voice for 134 minutes.
